Who would they get to play at this point? I'm sure Highlands needs a game. There isn't anybody better to schedule out there.

 

Their schedule is complete.

Good grief. Most football contracts I have seen lately in this state have been $5000 buyouts per game. not sure I would throw that kind of $$$ down the crapper ALSO if these contracts were just signed & if they were 2 year deals, then that is basically a 4game buyout unless I am missing something.

From what I gather they were 4 year contracts and in both cases they were entering the 3rd year.

 

Have to think it will be a fairly steep price to pay both financially and from a PR standpoint.

Start setting the buyout amount for 20K and you bet your tail there won't be anyone buying out contracts. If you agree to play, then you play. Coaches that do this have also been pretty shady cats anyway. I can think of several.

Did Johnson Central cancel a contract with Boone Co a few years back? Or was it Boyle Co?

No. They have never scheduled Boone but they did play a two year series with Boyle. In 2009 a fairly young team headed to Boyle and was defeated rather handedly in the first game of the season. They would go on to start the year at 0-4 before being defeated by Highlands in the Regional Championship. Some fans from JC thought the score was run up and some did not. Rumors swirled about the game possibly being cancelled, mainly through internet chatter, but they played the last year of their contract in 2010 at JC in the RECC Bowl. They were 0-2 in the series but gained a lot great experience out of the losses which propelled them to have great years in each of those seasons. In 2009 they ended up beating Belfry for the first time in school history and in 2010 they found themselves on the wrong side of a 21-14 defeat to Highlands.

Has Harlan County and Coach Creech had a change of heart?

 

Indications are that they are still expecting to play Belfry in week 2. This as recent as two days ago.

 

Not sure about the game with JC.

 

Any more word from those "in the know"?

Is the new coach the same Creech that was a QB there in the late 90's early 2000's?

Not at Harlan County, but at Cumberland High School (pre-county merger).
